Camargue

Self-drive boating holidays

From Cap d’Agde to the Camargue, only a thin strip of white sand separates the Mediterranean Sea from the canals and lagoons that you sail through. From Lattes, just outside Montpellier, enjoy going for a dip at Palavas-les-Flots.

Where sand and sea meet, stands the Cathedral of Maguelonne, while in the seaport of Sete canals crisscross the picturesque old town. On the Bassin de Thau you follow the canal through the middle of oyster beds to arrive in Agde, originally founded by the ancient Greeks. From Lattes you can head along the canal du Rhone a Sete: proudly rising above the lagoons and salt flats of Midi is the fortified town of Aigues-Mortes, founded in 1240 by St. Louis. In the Petite Camargue you can visit the typical fishing village of Le Grau du Roi, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the splendid abbey church of St-Gilles and Beaucaire with its great keep looking down on a maze of medieval alleys.
